US Imperialism

Lies, False Flags And Extrajudicial Murders; Resisting US Attacks On Venezuela

December 7, 2025 Francisco Dominguez, Red Pepper. , , , ,
In deploying the largest naval armada seen in the Caribbean Sea for decades, the Trump administration has spent recent months ramping up long-standing US aggression against Venezuela. Predicated upon the falsehood that Venezuela is a narco-state run by the non-existent Cartel de los Soles, the fleet comprises at least thirteen warships, including three guided-missile destroyers, five support vessels, a nuclear submarine and the USS Gerald Ford.  The latter, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, is capable of carrying over 75 military aircraft and a range of military assets. Overall, the US has deployed at least 16,000 military personnel to the flotilla. The Pentagon is also docking warships and moving in war materiel through Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago, and very likely through Guyana and other Caribbean islands. 

Urgent Actions: On December 6, March Against A US War On Venezuela

December 5, 2025 The Peoples Forum, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
22 years after the US went to war in Iraq based on lies, the Trump administration is preparing a major war against Venezuela. We must act now to stop this war before it starts. Today, Trump promised land strikes would begin “very soon,” has called for its airspace to be “closed,” and terminated negotiations with Venezuela’s government. These are all the signs of a full-scale regime change operation, which would be a catastrophe for the region.  The Trump Administration's repeated strikes in the Caribbean have shocked the world as brazen violations of international law.

The Double Tap On Venezuela

December 5, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The first United States SEAL Team 6 air strike on a boat allegedly engaged in Venezuelan drug trafficking took place on September 2, 2025. All 11 people on board were killed. The Trump administration gleefully released video of the attack and exulted in its deadly success. Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, bragged that he watched the air strike live and added, “We knew exactly who was in that boat.” Now, a U.S. aircraft carrier strike force sits off the coast of Venezuela. Trump has declared Venezuela a “no-fly zone,” and U.S. radar systems have been installed in neighboring Trinidad and Tobago.

US State Department Travel Warning On Venezuela

December 5, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Antiwar.com. , , , , ,
Following his earlier threat that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s days are numbered, US President Donald Trump announced on social media he was closing Venezuelan airspace. He then immodestly proclaimed the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine, commending his nineteenth century predecessor for presciently envisioning “a superpower unlike anything the world had ever known.” On December 3, the US State Department followed suit by issuing an updated Venezuela Travel Advisory. The document is a masterpiece of geopolitical creative writing, where the main export of Venezuela is not oil but existential dread.

Trump Frees Drug Trafficker; US Meddles In Honduras’ Elections

December 5, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
Donald Trump has pardoned and freed from prison one of the world’s worst drug dealers, the former dictator of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine and machine guns into the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been openly meddling in Honduras’ 2025 election. Honduran electoral officials have revealed evidence of massive fraud, aimed at putting a right-wing US-backed candidate in power. The US government sponsored a military coup against Honduras’ democratically elected left-wing president in 2009.

Why A Caribbean Zone Of Radical Peace Is Vital

December 3, 2025 Keston Perry, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Caribbean Sea has once again become a theater for the renewed geopolitical ambitions of a waning US empire, which is strategizing to bolster its last bastion of hegemony. The arrival of the nuclear-equipped USS Gerald R. Ford on November 15, 2025—the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, spearheading the most intense military deployment in the region in decades- signals a stark attempt to reaffirm US domination. It reminds us of the Caribbean’s central position in the history of empires and why our only option is to resist these machinations through the pursuit of a radical peace and working-class unity.

Trump Pardons Convicted Narco-Trafficking Politician

On November 28, US President Donald Trump Trump declared he will be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was sentenced to 45 years in a New York prison in 2024 for his role in helping smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the US in a drug-running scheme linked to the Sinaloa cartel. Hernandez, Trump wrote, had been “treated very harshly and unfairly.” While Hernandez was President of Honduras, he initiated contracts worth over half a million dollars with Republican lobbying firm BGR Group, after his brother, Tony, was sentenced to life in prison for cocaine smuggling.

Trump Attempts To ‘Close’ Venezuela’s Airspace With Imaginary Decree

November 30, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
In a bizarre social media post on Saturday, November 29, US President Donald Trump issued a warning amid escalating military action and pressure on Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro: “To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety.” This unprecedented attempt at an air blockade is another step in the escalating aggression that Washington is carrying out against Venezuela. However, experts in international law emphasize that Trump does not have the authority to close the airspace of another sovereign country, as that power belongs solely to the state that exercises sovereignty over its territory or to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Mass Mobilization In Caracas Rejects US Threats Of Intervention

November 28, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
On November 25, tens of thousands of Venezuelans marched to defend national sovereignty. The event, dubbed the “Great Civic-Military, Police March for our National Flag and the Sword of Bolívar”, brought together various groups of military personnel, police, and civilians who demanded an end to Washington’s pressure on the Caribbean country. Since August, the Pentagon has deployed its troops in the Caribbean Sea to, according to the Trump administration, stop the entry of drugs which allegedly come out of Venezuela. At the same time, they have declared the Cartel de los Soles an international terrorist organization and identified the Venezuelan government leadership as part of that organization.

How To Topple Elliot Abrams’ Delusion

November 26, 2025 Michelle Ellner, Scheer Post. , , ,
Elliott Abrams has resurfaced with familiar instructions on how to “fix” Venezuela, a country he neither understands nor respects, yet feels entitled to rearrange like a piece of furniture in Washington’s living room. His new proposal is drenched in the same Cold War fever and colonial mindset that shaped his work in the 1980s, when U.S. foreign policy turned Central America into a graveyard. My childhood in Venezuela was shaped by stories from our region that the world rarely sees: stories of displacement, of death squads, of villages erased from maps, of governments toppled for daring to act outside Washington’s orbit.

US Interference Threatens Electoral Integrity In Honduras

November 25, 2025 Progressive International. , , ,
As Honduras approaches its 30 November general election, troubling signs have emerged of a coordinated effort to distort, delegitimize, and ultimately interfere in the country’s sovereign democratic process. Yesterday, many Honduran political figures — including presidential candidate Salvador Nasralla and numerous members of the Honduran National Congress — attended a Western Hemisphere Subcommittee hearing in the United States Congress chaired by Representative María Elvira Salazar, a far-right proponent of US intervention in Latin America.

European Politicians Urge US To Stop Threatening Venezuela

November 23, 2025 Ultimate Noticias, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Parliamentarians and political leaders from across Europe called on the United States to cease its threats against Venezuela and demanded the withdrawal of US troops stationed in the Caribbean. “The prelude to the invasion is already underway. A US naval armada—at least eight warships, strategic bombers, fighter jets, and 10,000 troops—is now patrolling the Caribbean,” 62 European political leaders wrote in a statement issued on Friday, November 21. Among the US warships deployed off the Venezuelan coast is the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the US fleet, which was used against Yemen during the latest Zionist genocide in Gaza.

Saudi Arabia Just Said No To Israel And The United States

November 22, 2025 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. , , , ,
The United States is trying to shape the Middle East in the image it wants. From pushing through its plan for Gaza at the United Nations, to pulling Syria and Saudi Arabia closer into its orbit, President Trump may soon get the Middle East that he desires. However, he will not get it all his own way, as forces from Iran, Yemen, and across the region still oppose Trump’s plans and fight against it. All the while, Israel continues to expand its control of its neighbors. This week, it has been stepping up bombing campaigns against targets in Lebanon from its bases in the occupied south of the country.

Venezuela Allies Urge US To Cease Military Hostilities

November 22, 2025 Andreína Chávez Alava, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter have condemned the United States military escalation in the Caribbean, warning that attacks on Venezuela could have a “spill-over effect” across the entire region. In communiqués issued on Tuesday, both multilateral organizations expressed concern for the increased military build-up in the Caribbean, including several warships, a nuclear-powered submarine and the recently arrived USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier. The 121-member NAM called on the US to stop its airstrikes against small vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific, which have killed over 80 civilians since September, and to avoid “any further hostile actions.”

Corporate Media Parrot Dubious Claims Used To Justify War On Venezuela

November 20, 2025 Ricardo Vaz, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , , , ,
Since August, the US has been amassing military assets in the Caribbean. Warships, bombers and thousands of troops have been joined by the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, in the largest regional deployment in decades. Extrajudicial strikes against small vessels, which UN experts have decried as violations of international law, have killed at least 80 civilians (CNN, 11/14/25). Many foreign policy analysts believe that regime change in Venezuela is the ultimate goal (Al Jazeera, 10/24/25; Left Chapter, 10/21/25), but the Trump administration instead claims it is fighting “narcoterrorism,” accusing Caracas of flooding the US with drugs via the Cartel of the Suns and Tren de Aragua, both designated as foreign terrorist organizations.
